The Results of 65 Games of Party House
Long-time readers of this blog know that I've played a lot of Party House, game #25 in UFO 50. I'm not the best player at it, I've heard there's some with a random scenario win streak of over 130, but I have gotten up to 25. I wrote a strategy guide for it that's one of the most searched-for pages here. In the time s

The Website of Benimaru Itoh
I was listening to Retronauts 768 a couple of days ago, about the 20th anniversary of the release of Mother 3. It was interesting and you might enjoy it too, but the reason for this post is that they mentioned that Nintendo art legend Benimaru Itoh still maintains an old-school website.That is a thing about Japan; it's on average behind the times concerni

Obscure Arcade Games, Presented By Gary
Used to be there were many thousands of different arcade games that you could find nearly, in arcades, convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations and sometimes even just on a street corner. In the US (the country that originated arcade games somehow), those days have been gone for a long time, unless you count video po

Drew Mackie’s 101 Facts About Mario
Mackie's Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games often covers Nintendo-related topics, and this one is much more so than usual: a barrel-full of trivia related to Mario, his games, and his friends, enemies, rivals and hangers-on, spread out across seven long pages, all glorious text with some images and other med

Three-Up From Pannenkoek
Everyone that counts loves Pannenkoek, whose two Youtube channels pannenkoek2012 and UncommentatedPannen are probably the best, certainly the best-known, videogame internal explainers on the internet. They somehow made people care about an obscure Super Mario 64 challenge to get through the game in as few A button presses as possible. How can that even be?Not only

How Many BBS Programs Were There?
At least 885, according to software.bbsdocumentary.com. (Note: HTTP link, not HTTPS.) It's an adjunct to www.bbsdocumentary.com.That documentary is long sold out, but its producers have put its raw DVD files up for free download here.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow!

Hi @rl_dane @sashin,
naming the nice ones, I think of @artixlinux, @alpinelinux, @devuan, am I wrong?
Still hoping for the BSDs @FreeBSDFoundation, @openbsdnow, @netbsd.
Once the #mainstream goes mad, better be #niche. -
I probably shouldn’t be sharing photographs of niche musicians in niche venues, set in niche locations, during niche festivals and niche events on a niche social media platform.

Considering whether a blog or writing website should be niche or generalist leads to reflections on related issues about “true blogging.”
